Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 37 IN 4-year peers in this comparison, Indiana University-Bloomington is larger than 97% and safer-reporting than 17% - the larger, higher-reporting quadrant. Axes are within-sample percentiles so outliers share the same frame; a higher safety percentile means a lower Clery incidents-per-1,000 rate.

Enrollment scale
How campus size shapes the safety figures
With 48,424 enrolled students, Indiana University-Bloomington is the 35th largest of the 5,585 institutions in this dataset with a reported enrollment, ahead of 5,550 of them. Closest same-state same-level scored peers by enrollment: Purdue University-Main Campus (3.51/1k); Indiana University-Indianapolis (36.92/1k); Ball State University (1.80/1k); Vincennes University (0.40/1k); Indiana Wesleyan University-National & Global (0.00/1k); University of Notre Dame (5.44/1k); Trine University-Regional/Non-Traditional Campuses (0.10/1k); University of Southern Indiana (0.95/1k). The score above normalizes 2024 Criminal Offenses and VAWA incidents per 1,000 students, so compare it with similarly sized campuses instead of treating a higher raw count as evidence that a campus is less safe (University of Houston is the nearest similar-enrollment comparison on this profile).
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at Indiana University-Bloomington rose from 101 to 184 (+82%). The increase shows up in Motor Vehicle Theft (18 to 66), Aggravated Assault (3 to 13) and Burglary (29 to 37).
This describes reported incidents, not crime. Clery counts move with reporting policy, awareness campaigns and how a campus staffs its security authorities, so a rise can reflect better capture of reports and a fall can reflect worse capture. One year of movement at a single campus is not a trend.
What actually gets reported at Indiana University-Bloomington
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 7 Clery Act categories here: Rape, Motor Vehicle Theft, Burglary, Fondling, Aggravated Assault, Arson and Robbery.
The remaining 4 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, Incest, Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter, Negligent Manslaughter and Statutory Rape. Under the Clery Act that zero is an affirmative report that nothing in the category occurred, not an absence of data, which is why the table below lists those rows rather than dropping them.
Counts describe incidents reported under the Clery Act for the on-campus geography. Reporting practice varies between institutions, so counts are not a direct measure of relative safety.

Cost context
Where Indiana University-Bloomington sits on price and outcomes
At $16,264, Indiana University-Bloomington's reported average net price is cheaper than 30% among 94 Indiana colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $19,463.

- average net price

- Indiana median
- 2.7×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $18,804
- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $6,324, while those above $110,000 record $25,128 - roughly 4.0 times as much. A published average of $16,264 therefore describes very few families well; the bracket nearest your own income is the more useful figure.
Median reported earnings six years after entry are $53,417, roughly 3.3 times a year of net price. That is a workable ratio, though it says nothing about how long the programme takes to finish.
Average net price reflects grant and scholarship aid for aided students, not a personal offer. Earnings cover former students who received federal aid; neither measure predicts an individual's outcome.
